For the benefit of anybody outside the UK who doesn’t get the gag; they’re driving Jensen Interceptors.

It’s typical of the mental conditioning that’s used in initial military training, I wonder if it’s leaked over from there at some time in the past.

97% of their natural gas imports

More appropriate to the situation-

They actually train the astronauts on how to bodge the station-

It’s a hydrofoil set up to lift the stern of the ship, partly by capturing the upwelling of water behind the stern. Nice idea if it works well. I’m not so sure about the stabilisation effect ‘cos it’ll put the bow deeper in the water.

The rotors are smooth so there’s no way for them to capture energy from the wind by rotation. They provide more thrust than they consume in power to rotate them, that’s how they save energy.

What’s the problem?

Probably interfering with a lawful detention.

Is this crap some new, ‘higher’ form of edgelording? It looks like a bot that mashing together popular images from Insta with articles it’s scraped from Taboola. It’s the kind of dissonance that I thought only AI was capable of.

John McCain’s 106-year-old (!!!) mother will be at his funeral service in Washington DC.

True, I think a lot of the people reacting to it just saw it as catnip for the PUA, race ‘realist’ and other crews and reacted to that more than content of it, though that wasn’t a baseless assumption. Some of the reported reactions to it by Googlers were hysterical in the non-funny sense.

because that will magically lead to your company/team being able to come up with ideas that a non-black person or a male never could.

Also a reminder that at least one of Damore’s sources (David Schmitt) disagrees with Damore’s interpretation of his work. I thought the memo was ok but slightly unbalanced and a bit of a superficial interpretation, though keeping it down to 10 pages will have that effect. I was disappointed that his left-right biases…

I would like to test this rule by brigading the forum with tankies, lol.

Did anybody else hear trumpets as they read ‘John Cena’?

Capital-G Gamer culture is a pile of shit but I’ve always suspected that most gamers are small-g gamers, people who play games but without making into their cultural centrepiece. There’s plenty of online games where you won’t have to deal with Gamers but they tend to be less popular, though that’s coming from somebody…

Doubtful. Overreacting and rage outbursts can be traits for autistic people this guy seemed to be showing a bit too much planning (going all the way out to his car for the gun and back again) to be in a rage outburst.

I’m not Sad Squiggly Ghost. Sorry, I didn’t realise that people would make that connection. Although I do know about depression.
